Ordering direct form KG Works

[Dave737]

I would like to order a KG Works instrument cluster for the NA in black. I have searched all the vendors I know and the black version is out of stock.
So I am thinking of going right to the source http://www.kgworks.co.jp/
Anyone here order direct form KGW before?
How did it go, how long did it take, anything I should look out for?

Have you got a quote from Tetsuya Garage? I ordered the Type S starter panel two weeks ago through Rod and it was $20-30 cheaper than the price I got from KG's online quote.

Rod is nice and easy to deal with as well, which counts for a lot in my book

These items are hand made by Kitagawa-san, and his employees, they are now "Made-To-Order" from his company as the demand is way down in the USA and Japan for NA/NB goods.

The last group buy we did in 2011 was with Joe the owner of RSpeed and he had talked with Kitagawa-san who stated they were having problems sourcing some of those small parts. As well as the OEM cluster to build from, they actually depleted the inventory from Mazda Japan. In the last group buy they hand picked used OEM clusters in good used condition for the group buy.
